 The Guild Church of St Margaret Pattens

Our Ministry

St Margaret Pattens is able to hold all services of the Church of England: baptism, confirmation, weddings, funerals and memorial services.  The chief focus of our life is the weekly Thursday lunchtime service of Holy Communion, with rousing hymns and a thoughtful sermon, at which you will be made most welcome.  After the 40-minute service there is always a friendly gathering for tea and biscuits to which all are invited.  Times of services are given below.

If you live or work nearby and wish to share your joy, or unburden your grief in order to rediscover a path which once seemed clear, or to give thanks to God for blessings received or ask for guidance, we offer St Margaret Pattens as a place of sanctuary.

Services are held as follows:
